Delete Clients dialog

Show all expandable content
Use this dialog to delete the current-year data files for a single client or for multiple clients.
note
Depending on your security configuration, you might be required to enter the master password and select OK before you can proceed.&
To open this dialog, select File > Delete.
After client files are deleted, UltraTax CS cannot recover them. Therefore, we recommend that you back up the client's data before deleting it.
note
  • If a client is open, that client automatically appears in the Clients to delete pane on the right. If you do not want to delete the open client, highlight the client's name and select the Remove button.
  • If you attempt to delete a client whose data is password-protected, UltraTax CS prompts you to either enter the password or skip the deletion of the protected client's data.
